Azden unveils MOTO-SS single‑ear intercom series
Azden launched the MOTO-SS Series single‑ear intercom headsets for broadcast cameras, offered in four models with 4‑pin and 5‑pin XLR support.
Key points
- Azden introduced the MOTO-SS Series single‑ear intercom headset for broadcast camera use.
- The headset is designed to be worn on either the right or left ear.
- The series comprises four models and supports 4-pin and 5-pin XLR male and female connectors.
Azden has added a new option to its broadcast audio range with the MOTO-SS Series, a family of single-ear intercom headsets built for camera work. The company positioned the product line squarely for broadcast camera workflows and released the new series as a set of compact single-ear units.
"Azden has announced a new MOTO-SS Series Single-Ear Intercom Headset for broadcast cameras."
The headsets use a single-ear design so operators keep one ear free while monitoring communications. Azden says the MOTO-SS line can be mounted on either side of the head, giving crews the flexibility to wear the earcup on the right or left depending on preference or rigging needs.
Each unit is lightweight. Azden lists the weight as 240g / 8.47 oz, which keeps the headset compact for long shifts at camera positions and on location.
The MOTO-SS Series itself is a small family rather than a single model. Azden built four variants into the lineup to cover a range of connection needs for camera systems and comms setups.
"they only weigh 240g / 8.47 oz."
Connectivity is a key part of the MOTO-SS specification. The series is specified to work with both common pin configurations, so the models cover 4-pin and 5-pin XLR options and accept both male and female XLR connectors. That design choice means the headsets can be integrated with a variety of intercom belt‑packs and camera comms inputs used in broadcast chains.
"compatible with 4-pin and 5-pin XLR male and female connectors."
Azden’s announcement focuses on the fundamentals: a single-ear form, side-agnostic wear, a lightweight build and multiple connector options across a four-model range. The company’s messaging positions the MOTO-SS Series as a straightforward, purpose-built choice for crews needing a single‑ear intercom solution that fits broadcast camera environments.
The new series adds to the options available to camera teams who prioritise a one-ear listening arrangement and flexible connector compatibility. Azden’s details so far concentrate on those core attributes rather than an extended feature list, emphasising weight, wear side flexibility and connector support as the primary highlights of the MOTO-SS Series.
